Coltunasi are traditional food in Moldova. At least I suppose so. And not "russian pelmeni" with meat, but coltunasi - dumplings with potatoes.They can be also with cheese, with potatoes and mushrooms, with cherry.I prefer those dumplings with cheese and potatoes.Here is how they look like when they are ready. I like to eat the dumplings adding cream. They are pretty caloric thats why you shouldn't eat them too often.
